I kind of compared this to a classic Prius(01) I drove for 10 years. The acceleration is not great, the VCT works well but you have to learn how to drive it. Drive it like a regular car, mileage is 39 mpg, drive it like a hybrid and keep the rpms @ or under 2000 rpm, 47 to 50 mpg. Visibility is great, sound system is good quality and the touch screen setup for personal preferences for operation is good.

I always wanted a tiny car, and the affordability of this car allowed me to purchase my first car from the dealer. I was very happy at first because it was so cute and of course I finally had the convenience of being able to park in any space with little to no struggle. The inside looks very cool and modern. I got lots of complements and jokes on it. I had the smallest car at my job. I was very happy with it until after a while. I began to noticed the inconvenience of having a small vehicle when every bump and pot hole felt harsh and loud. I began to get annoyed by the noisy drive, and the AC was not too great during the heat waves we have been going through lately. I began to feel that the car was too small when I took long road trips and my guests could not recline much. Eventually I traded it for a more spacey car. It has been almost two months since I've let go and it is starting to hit me, I miss the little guy. It was convenient for gas, and parking. Sometimes you don't know what you have until its gone.

What a hunk of JUNK !! Bought this fine quality GM product 7 months ago, brand new. Out of the 7 months ? It was at the dealer for 2 months total. 7 month old car with a MASSIVE OIL LEAK from the valve covers, 3 recalls, rear latch breakage and bad tire pressure sensors no one could figure out how to clear the code. Chevy has re-invented the Vega got the "quality" from Yugo & created the Spark. Road noise is horrible !! Fit and finish is a JOKE !! The door chime causes loss of hearing. It's a plastic hot mess. And the black paint is an upgrade ? Junk all the way. Traded it in yesterday on a far more reliable method of transportation. That car should of been recalled & forgotten about.

I bought a 2013 Chevy Spark LS when they first came out. I loved it! Then a recall on the ignition switch, then it was the fuel pump and now this year the air conditioner went out and burned all over my motor. I never heard a recall on that but reading some of the other reviews it should have been. I still Love my car but now It seems so noisy on the road and it sounds like I am driving a tin can. If I hit a speed bump it feels like to me that the front end tires start to shake and the car seems to try to recover..I have the Techno Pink. Hopeful, all the re-calls I had was a good thing and they will make a better car.
